I am not seeing airdrop acceptance notification

I have been having trouble with Airdrop. I hear the notification and see that it's sent. But I never get the window to accept. I am also having trouble fining it in my downloads folder. I had to restart to get the pictures I sent.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have done the turn off wifi, blue tooth and restart tip.

Still same issue.

Thanks in advance,

MacBook Pro

Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support

FYI, I have not had to confirm receipt of Air Dropped items from my iPhone to my Mac for a while now. I know the first time I used Air Drop to my Mac I did confirm to allow the transfer, but since then the files just transfer. Keep in mind both devices are connected using the same AppleID which may make a difference. I never have a problem locating the Air Dropped files on the Mac.
